What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role that allows me to utilize my financial expertise while providing opportunities for growth in auditing and financial analysis.

I am an accountant with over 10 years of experience in the public sector, specializing in financial management and accounting. My career has been marked by significant contributions to accountability, cost savings, and the efficient operation of finance departments. I have successfully handled budget preparation, cost accounting, and management reporting, ensuring that financial transactions are accurately recorded and monitored.

Throughout my career, I have developed a robust skill set that includes financial reporting, budget monitoring, and tax compliance. My experience at Kenyatta National Hospital has allowed me to refine my abilities in processing payments, preparing invoices, and managing accounts receivable. I pride myself on my attention to detail and my ability to work collaboratively within a team to meet deadlines and achieve organizational goals.

As I look to the future, I am eager to expand my expertise in auditing and financial analysis. I am seeking a challenging position where my skills and experience can be leveraged to contribute to a dynamic finance team, while also providing opportunities for professional growth and development.
